We always talk about modern medicine and its many miracles. Well, we've always had modern medicine. What we have not had was modern dentistry. Modern dentistry is a relatively new invention, and a good one. What dentists can do is remarkable. Thank goodness.
I had a knot come up on the lower right side of my mandible. It got larger rather quickly, but did not hurt. It was sore and getting sorer, with adjacent lymph node tenderness. I started thinking about tumors, oral cancers, secondary cancers caused by my CLL. Then I thought, maybe I've got an abscessed tooth. Well, Debbie pointed out to me that I likely had an abscessed tooth, simplifying things for me considerably. I was determined to think that it was something much more malevolent.
"Call David," she said. I'll get you more on David in just a minute.
After a bit more thinking, having seen some signs that things were going in that direction with that particular molar, I figured I probably did have an abscessed tooth and was headed down the root canal path. Everyone loves a root canal. I suppose some people collect them like toy trains, though doubtless with less enthusiasm.
It was a Friday evening. My dentist does not even work on Friday, nor do most dentists, it seems. I try not to work on Friday either, but like some dentists, it does not pan out. I called my life-long close friend, David, a dentist in another town.
"I think I've got an abscess going into high gear," I said, "But it doesn't seem to be in the right place to me." Here, I was foolishly attempting to practice a bit of dentistry on myself, which is not illegal, but foolish nonetheless. I was still leaning towards certain, swift demise from a CLL event gone bad.
"Where is it?" asked David.
I didn't argue. I lived with David and his wife for a while as he was going to dental school and used to help him study in the evenings, showing flash cards and asking him questions from study sheets. I learned quite a bit about dentistry, far more than the average layman. The most valuable thing I learned is when I need to call a dentist and where to find one in a hurry.
David knows all about my CLL.
"Well, I can call in some Cipro to your pharmacy," he said.
"Can't take ciproflaxcin. Or levoflaxcin, either," I said.
"Did you have a reaction to either one?" he asked.
"Levoflaxcin. Debilitating tendonitis," I said.
I did and he did.
I hustled on down to the pharmacy. My pharmacist laughed at the instructions on the prescriptions and informed me that they had written them just the way the dentist had called them out.
"Take two right off the bat and I mean it!" it said, among other things.
"That's the way he called it and that's the way we wrote it," he said, laughing heartily.
I got home and took two right off the bat as required since he'd meant it. Then followed up with one 500mg capsule every four hours. By the third dose the abscess knot was half the near-small-walnut/large-acorn size it had gotten. I felt much better.
I called my own dentist Monday morning. Tammi, the lady in charge of things there said it was crazy there that morning, but to come right down and they'd see me. I knew they would.
"Perfect," I said, and hung up the phone. First thing for them is early. I like early.
A bit later, I got a text from David: You know you need to see your own dentist right away. You can't let this lay just because you feel better. It will be back.
I texted back: Acknowledged and received. Appointment already made for Wednesday. THANK YOU!
The abscess was under a 25 year old crown that had a cracked skirt at the base with a chip missing. The root was not involved, so I didn't need a root canal. A quick removal of the old crown, some clean up work on the enamel decay that had occurred at the base of the tooth, and some digging (Oww!) to get some impacted materials out of the funnel shaped void where the crown had chipped, and I was fitted with a temporary crown in no time. Sometime next week, I will go back and get the new crown put on. While everything is wonderful now, I will finish my course of antibiotics.
Belinda, the ace dental assistant told me as I walked out the door, "If that temporary crown comes off, you come back here. Don't you dare glue it back on yourself." She knows I will. I've done it before. Dry the tooth stump off and put one, not two, just one drop of cyanoacrylate glue and it will hold it fine for several days. If it comes off again, you can glue it again. I love modern glues as much as I love modern dentistry.
The most painful part about this was paying for it. But in all honesty, I think I got a bargain. With the money I paid, I got all that modern dentistry could give me, which is a substantial amount.
I wish treating cancer was as workmanlike as fixing teeth. While dentistry has some unique problems, and dentists sometimes have difficulties restoring existing problems, or see new problems that present themselves in a unique manner that only experience can satisfy, all in all, dentists are really good at what they do.
When they bury me from death by CLL, or death from some complication caused by CLL, or from something completely unrelated to CLL but with CLL, as Hemopsapien once told me, I'll still have a mouth full of good looking, modern dentistrified teeth.
Some might say that in Mississippi, that is a remarkable thing. Were they to say it within earshot in too condescending a tone, this deplorable might see to it that they immediately seek out the services of their own excellent dentist for some restorative work. How lucky they'll be to have one.
We've got plenty of teeth in Mississippi. I've got thirty-two. How many do you have? Have you counted the teeth in the mouths of strangers in your own state? There's likely some missing teeth right near your home. You won't have to go far to find them, or not find them, as it were.
Thank you, dentists, everywhere. I'm so glad we've moved beyond Doc Holliday, who, if he couldn't fix your teeth, could at least efficiently place a .45 slug to quickly take you out of your misery. If the abscess was bad enough, some might call that a relief.
Time to go and take my Keflex.
Hug your dentist next time you see him. Think kindly of him every time you take a bite of an apple, or eat some corn on the cob, or some peanuts. Gums just won't get you through those.
Always a pleasure Mr. Sharp! By the way, we are open most Fridays. Don't hesitate to give us a call!
Everyone, meet Dr. Brandon Goza, my most excellent young dentist who took over the practice of my retired friend Dr. Dan Fulton in DeKalb, Mississippi.
Dr. Goza, Tammi, Belinda, and Claire always make me glad to be there, if not for the reason, then for the relief and the pleasure of their company.
My permanent crown is in place now, infection gone, and the tooth has been field tested.
Thanks, also, to Dr. Curtis.
My, how I love them all.

TRYING TO CATCH UP
Sub-Saharan Africa is lagging behind in mobile broadband coverage
Reuters/Thomas Mukoya
The mobile phone is the main tool people use to access the internet in Africa.
By Carlos Mureithi
East Africa correspondent
Sub-Saharan Africa has significantly reduced its coverage gap for mobile broadband over the past several years, but it still remains the region with the largest coverage gap, a new report by GSMA says. It defines this gap as people living in areas not covered by a mobile broadband network.
The figure went from 50% in 2014 to 19% in 2020, but this is more than three times the global average of 6%.
This gap can be reduced by making the economic case for expanding coverage more attractive by speeding up adoption of mobile broadband, the report says.
The report is the latest by GSMA, an organization that represents the interests of mobile operators worldwide, on trends in the coverage and usage of mobile internet globally.
It provides data about mobile broadband connectivity, coverage gaps, and usage gaps – people living where there's a mobile broadband network but are not using mobile internet services
Those with a usage gap predominantly live in remote or rural areas while those with a coverage gap are within reach of a mobile broadband network, but not using these services for various reasons including affordability.
The mobile phone is the primary tool sub-Saharan Africans use to access the internet
As the main tool people use to access the internet in Africa and other developing parts of the world, mobile phones are an important part of life in the continent. They enable users to keep in touch and access important information, services, and opportunities. But the gender gap for mobile phone ownership and mobile internet use in the region remains high, and questions exist on the value of data in relation to prices and connection speeds in the continent.
Africa is steadily increasing its mobile internet coverage, with major 3G, 4G and 5G rollouts in different countries. These rollouts, the report says, have helped reduce the coverage gap.
More than a quarter of the continent's population is now using mobile internet, more than double the number in 2014, according to GSMA. But more than half a billion people living in areas where mobile broadband networks are available are not using mobile internet, according to the organization.
Africa's usage gap is at 53%, the second-highest in the world. Since the coverage gap is reducing yet most of the unconnected people are in areas covered by mobile broadband, the focus should be increasing usage, the report says.
"Accelerating adoption will increase the economic case for further expanding coverage, which will in turn help reduce the coverage gap," the report says.

Here are some bullet points we'd advice anyone to have the best possible experience in Venezia!
Arrive early, that way you can leave early before everyone else.
Get a map and decide a productive route stopping at the things you want to see. We didn't do this and spent most of our time wandering the maze that is Venezia, being lost, even with Google maps. Then when we finally found our way out, we realized we had to go back in again to go to the top of St. Mark's Campanile for that 360*View of Venezia.
The Gondola is a must-do experience. I preferred sailing along the main Canale. You see more and get a good overview over Venice. It also give you that Italian exclusive atmosphere that many crave from films and the like. Ole preferred the quiet small Canales, sailing between the housewalls and secluded bridges. Some Gondolas do a mix of both. If you can afford it, I'd recommend doing two rides (€80 each) as they only last 30 minutes. Whichever you chose, sailing underneath Rialto Bridge is practically a must-do.
There's a ferry service running within Venezia that makes it easier to get to or from the trainstation if your legs decide they don't want to carry you anymore.

What do you do when you can't fix an unfixable problem? What do you do when you can't solve an unsolvable riddle? What do you do when you can't change an unchangeable circumstance? What do you do when you can't control something that hurts deeply in your life?You throw yourself on the sustaining grace of God.
The Bible says, "Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness'"(2 Corinthians 12:8-9 NIV).
with all its problems. This frees you to experience exuberantly the joyous reality of My Presence. Give yourself fully to these Glory-moments, awash in dazzling Light. I will eventually lead you down the mountain, back into community with others. Let My Light continue to shine within you as you walk among people again.
At one time or another, you've probably been in a situation where you've asked, "Doesn't God care?" The disciples asked this very question in Mark 4.

NTT Comm set to acquire a unified license for NLD services in India by end-2015
Japan-based NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) will apply for a unified licence for offering national long-distance (NLD) services in India by end-2015. The licence will enable NTT Com to provide network services in the country. To this end, the company will establish a new group company called NTT Communications India Network Services Private Limited by May 2015.
With a unified licence, the company will be able to provide a range of network services including private network services, such as IP-VPN connecting data centres or the cloud to the domestic production bases of its customers.
Further, NTT Communications India Private Limited, NTT Com's wholly-owned subsidiary, will set up a branch office in Gujarat to offer Information and communications technology (ICT) solutions in the country from June 2014. The centre at Ahmedabad will be the company's sixth office following its offices in Delhi, Rajasthan, Mumbai, Chennai and Bangaluru.
At present, NTT Com India provides system-integration services in India. Also, the company through Netmagic Solutions, in which NTT Com owns a 74 per cent stake, offers data centre and cloud services through its eight data centres in India.
The decision by NTT Com has come when its sister concern NTT DOCOMO is looking to exit its services from the country. Recently, NTT DOCOMO decided to sell its stake in Tata Teleservices Limited, its Indian joint venture.

The 2008 Mumbai Bombings closed the doors for the Pakistani cricketers in the IPL.
Initially it was in Greece that the status quo changed and people were afforded an opportunity to place someone of their choice to reign over rest of the subjects. Yet, it took another couple of millenniums for this system to evolve into the system of today what we describe as politics and its main stream segments of Democracy and Socialism.
Unlike the royal breeds that have the born right to rule people, the politicians especially in the democratic world have to depend on the sentiments of the people and say and do the right things to obtain their nod of approval. The worst are the attempts by the politicians when they try to unleash hatred among people just to protrude themselves as a champion of a cause. When it gets to that level, the people who generally get more agitated are the less-read mortals in society – a lot who could be and are manipulated by the crooked-eyed politicians for their stability upon their pedestals.
One may wonder why we at this end are indulging in a subject that has limited surface interest in our mainstream — sports. But, when one sees what is taking place around us we get that eerie feeling that some politicians in our neighbourhood are trying to whip up racial sentiments and rouse people against sports and sportspersons.
The very first politically motivated sports massacre took place at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, in West Germany.
Eleven members of the Israeli Olympic team were taken hostage and eventually killed, along with a German police officer, by the Palestinian group called Black September.
The next big attack on sports occurred on March 3, 2009 in Pakistan. When the Lankan Cricketers were approaching the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore for the third day's play in their second Test match of the series; they were fired upon by a group of twelve gunmen. Six members of the Sri Lanka national cricket team were wounded. Six Pakistani policemen and two civilians were killed.
What was the result? Pakistan became the outcasts of world sport. They missed the hosting of the 2011 Cricket World Cup. Now for almost five years, no top sports contingent has toured the country. Why? A few politically misguided elements who took fanaticism as their doctrine exploded, but the country as whole imploded sports wise.
Today, the Pakistan cricket team has become the nomads of the ICC. They make their scheduled tours to the other countries, but, when it comes to a home series, they are either in the United Arab Emirates or some other venue — Sri Lanka or the London Oval.
Even the 2012 Olympics had that particular scare. In March last year an English newspaper screamed – "Terrorists linked with al-Qaeda are plotting a cyanide poison attack on London Olympics by mixing chemicals with hand cream, it has been reported. Extremists have posted 'detailed instructions' on a website with links to the terror group on how to launch an attack this summer's games in the capital.
There were protests against the ex-Lankan cricketer and the No. 1 ICC umpire Kumar Dharmasena officiating in a Test match between India and Australia in Chennai last week.
"One member, called Abu Hija Ansari claimed the cyanide should be mixed with an unidentified hand cream so it could be absorbed through human skin, according to The Sun."
Yet, common sense prevailed at this point and nothing major occurred, except for a few LTTE supporters trying whip up some anti-Sri Lankan sentiments which were largely ignored.
Moving closer to home, protests against Sri Lankan umpire Kumar Dharmasena officiating in the first Test match between India and Australia at Chennai occurred the other day.
Dharmasena had turned down an appeal when Michael Clarke was found to be out after he nicked a delivery on to his leg which Cheteshwar Pujara held on to at forward short-leg when on 39.
However, Dharmasena turned down the appeal. The Australian skipper went on to make 130.
A pro-Elam group in Tamil Nadu had protested outside the Chidambaram stadium in Chennai during the India-Australia first Test, against the presence of Sri Lanka's Dharmasena in the state. Still one must remember at that point that Dharmasena was not representing Sri Lanka, but, the ICC.
Dharmasena was one of the umpires officiating in the test match, which India finally won.
Police had arrested 50 of those protestors.
That incident was a part of a series of similar protest campaigns erupted in Tamil-Nadu against Sri Lanka and its nationals visiting the southern Indian state for either for business purposes, pilgrimage or sports.
The other day Tamil Nadu's chief minister J. Jayalalithaa had refused to host the Asian Athletics Championships because of the participation of Sri Lanka which she accuses of war crimes.
Chennai, the state capital, was due to host the event in July, but Jayalalithaa said Sri Lanka must not be allowed to take part.
Now the latest the politically whipped South Indian cry of not to let Sri Lankan cricketers take part in the Indian Premier League T-20 tournament – the IPL. The callers are crying out not to let the Indian franchise Chennai Super Kings include any Sri Lankan players in its squad.
This column always has been against Sports getting entangled in politics or vice-versa in any form. Sports should be independent from any form of race-based politics in this country. At the same time Sri Lanka has been successful in that, especially in cricket. The record breaking Lankan off spinner Muttiah Muralitharan hails from a community known as Sri Lankan Tamils of Indian Origin. The present Sri Lankan cricket captain Angelo Mathews is also from a Christian minority community.
However, the situation in South India or take India as a whole, is volatile, where Sri Lankan is concerned. Most Tamil Nadu politicians keep harbouring grudges against the Lankans and its sports people for their own gain at the pedestal. What if fanatic/fanatics take the law into their hands and create a scene akin to that of 2009 Lahore or the 2008 attacks in Mumbai. What would the rest of the sporting world think of India?
Still the subjected sports people are Lankans and it is up to the Sri Lankan Government to foresee such possibilities and work towards precautions. A bridge too late will not save any lives.
Sportspeople are sportspeople; they do not live politics for their own gain. Shouldn't the Lankan authorities think of some assurances before they release our cricketers to the Indian Premier League?

They fill your body with unnecessary amounts of sugar and artificial additives, which are generally a no-no on the wellness front.
First, getting sufficient protein and vegetables helps you stay alert and avoid the fogginess so common after pm.

Good sources include food fortified with vitamin D such as cow's milk, soy beverage, and margarine. Vitamins and minerals to maintain the cells, tissues, and organs. But even those are too low for many of us. Magnesium is also great for a healthy heart as well as promotes energy to the brain to help us feel focused. However, many supplements can be beneficial, especially those that contain nutrients that are generally lacking in the diet, like vitamin D.
Future experiments will compare the clock gene-expression pattern in the liver between a balanced diet and a % sucrose diet.

GLYDE is the brainchild of Singer, Guitarist, Producer, Greg Marino, based out of Vancouver, BC.
Tranquil, delicate, and soul nourishing, GLYDE keeps each track's sound solely unique, filled with intriguing celestial instrumentals, playful drops, and sprinkled with trance inducing vocals. Inspired by the Moon, the divinity of femininity and, of course, love, GLYDE embraces the challenge of being able to create a sonic narrative for the audience to interpret themselves. Marino wishes his audience to feel free in connecting with their own divinity through his music.
When asked about his vision for GLYDE, Marino answered, "I hope to ignite the inner spark that I feel when I create my music, in others, and to offer an authentic experience. There aren't many electronic dance music producers who play live guitar, sing and mix at the same time, so I see that as something that people may find different and interesting."

True story of Raju the crying elephant coming to Hollywood
Abused and kept in chains for 50 years, Raju was freed earlier this summer by a wildlife charity in a daring midnight operation.

This past July, under the cover of darkness, a 10-person team of conservationists and wildlife experts, 20 forestry department officials, and six policeman rescued an elephant named Raju from five decades of abuse. The elephant has been forced to endure a life of painful shackles and handouts from tourists; mostly subsisting on plastic and paper for food. The rescue became even more emotional after Raju began crying while officials removed his bonds.
"The team were astounded to see tears roll down his face during the rescue," Wildlife SOS founder Kartick Satyanarayan said. "It was so incredibly emotional for all of us. We knew in our hearts he realised he was being freed."
"Elephants are not only majestic, but they are highly intelligent animals, who have been proven to have feelings of grief, so we can only imagine what torture half a century has been like for him," he added.

According to Deadline, Raju's heartbreaking story and dramatic rescue will now be made into a dramatic feature film. The story will focus not only the elephant, but also the efforts by Kartrick Satyanarayan (head of the Wildlife SOS Center in India) and Nikki Sharp (head of the Wildlife SOS Foundation) to free him.
And the story's not yet over. Efforts are underway by Raju's previous owner to return him to a life of enslavement. A court date set for September 11th will ultimately decide the elephant's fate, but Wildlife SOS officials are confident they will win; specifically citing the fact that the previous owner did not have legal custody of Raju.
"We are hoping the courts will see sense that this can never happen as Raju was treated with such appalling cruelty and torture in his hands in the first place and the man claiming ownership of Raju has no legal grounds to claim him back under Indian law," Satyanarayan told the Daily Mail.

-   [Open the dashboard](#open-the-dashboard)
-   [Simulation rate](#simulation-rate)
    *   [Set the rate programmatically](#set-the-rate-programmatically)
-   [Run a pathway](#run-a-pathway)
-   [Send a raw message](#send-a-raw-message)

Simulated Hospital includes a built-in web app (called **Dashboard**) to manage
running instances. This document explains how you can manage Simulated Hospital
from your browser.

Using Simulated Hospital's dashboard, you can do the following:

*   Change the message-sending rate of a self-running simulation.
*   Start an ad-hoc pathway or send an HL7 message.

![The Simulated Hospital control panel](./images/control-panel.png)

## Open the dashboard

After Simulated Hospital finishes launching, you can visit
http://localhost:8000/simulated-hospital/ in your browser. If you're running
Simulated Hospital on another computer, replace _localhost_ with the hostname or
IP address of the other computer.

To change the TCP port or URL path, launch Simulated Hospital with the
`dashboard_address` and `dashboard_uri`
[command-line arguments](./arguments.md#dashboard).

## Simulation rate

Simulated Hospital typically runs your pathways as part of a self-running
simulation. Each new pathway represents a patient arriving to the hospital. The
application distributes pathways evenly across the hour. For example, if you set
the rate to 10, Simulated Hospital starts a pathway every 6 minutes. To change
how often Simulated Hospital runs your pathways, follow these steps:

1.  Open the dashboard in your browser.
1.  Drag the *New Pathways per Hour* slider to your new rate.

Your new rate only affects starting new pathways. Existing pathways continue
generating and sending new HL7 messages until the pathway complete—even if your
set the rate to zero.

The initial value at startup is determined by the
[`pathways_per_hour`](./arguments.md#pathways) argument.

### Set the rate programmatically

You can set higher message-sending rates from the command line. Run the
following command (you might need to change the host, port, or path) in your
terminal:

```shell
$ curl -XPOST http://localhost:8000/simulated-hospital/pathwayRate -d 'value=2000'
```

## Run a pathway

You might want to run a pathway immediately to demonstrate a feature or test
during development. You can run a pathway by entering one of the following:

*   The name of a [pre-loaded pathway](#pre-loaded-pathways). For example,
    `aki_scenario_1`. Either, append a colon and MRN if you want to update an
    existing patient, or, append a colon with first and last names to override
    the name included in the pathway.
*   The source of a pathway in YAML or JSON format. Simulated Hospital validates
    your data before running. To learn more, read
    [Write pathways](./write-pathways.md).

Here are some examples:

```yaml
# A pathway using ramdomized or built-in data.
aki_scenario_1

# A pathway with patient MRN to update an existing (or create a new) patient.
aki_scenario_1: 123456789012345

# A pathway to create a new patient with the name Jane Doe.
aki_scenario_1: Jane Doe

# Pathway source admitting a patient into the Renal ward, in YAML.
admission_example:
  persons:
      main_patient:
        mrn: "123456789012345"
        first_name: "Elizabeth"
        surname: "Smith"
  pathway:
    - admission:
        loc: Renal

# Pathway source admitting a patient into the Renal ward, in JSON.
{
  "admission_example": {
    "persons": {
      "main_patient": {
        "mrn": "123456789012345",
        "first_name": "Elizabeth",
        "surname": "Smith"
      }
    },
    "pathway": [
      {
        "admission": {
          "loc": "Renal"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

When you run a pathway from the dashboard, Simulated Hospital runs the pathway
once. If you want to repeatedly run a pathway, add the pathway to the pre-loaded
pathways.

To run a pathway, follow these steps:

1.  Open the dashboard in your browser.
1.  Enter the pathway name or source into the text area.
1.  Click **Run or Send**.

After running a pathway, Simulated Hospital shows the patient's name and MRN
below the text area.

## Send a raw message

To send a raw HL7v2 message, follow these steps:

1.  Open the dashboard in your browser.
1.  Enter the HL7 message into the text area.
1.  Click **Run or Send**.

HL7 messages should look similar to the following example:

```txt
MSH|^~\&|FROM_APP|FROM_FACILITY|TO_APP|TO_FACILITY|20180101000000||ADT^A01|20180101000000|P|2.5|
EVN|A01|20110613083617|
PID|1|843125^^^^MRN|21004053^^^^MRN~2269030303^^^^ORGNMBR||SULLY^BRIAN||19611209|M|||123 MAIN ST^^CITY^STATE^12345|
PV1||I|H73 RM1^1^^HIGHWAY 01 CLINIC||||5148^MARY QUINN|||||||||Y||||||||||||||||||||||||||||20180101000000|
```

Before sending, check the following:

*   Each segment must starts on a new line. The example shows four segments.
*   You can include more than one message, but separate each message with a
    blank line.

Simulated Hospital checks that the raw HL7 message can be parsed before sending
it.

In one of my last projects I´ve been playing around with sprites, SASS and ie7, to create an easy to use set of buttons with hover, pressed and disabled states.
Buttons created using 3 images (fixed left, repeated center and fixed right) in CSS2, at least they need 3 elements. In this case I´ve added a fourth one to be more flexible with disabled text.

Georgraphically sitting between the two continents of Europe and Asia, Turkey has a vast history to tell. It has been home to many cultures and civilisations. Ancient Greeks and Romans, Persian and the Ottoman Empire have all left their legacy on the country. Historically, Turkey has served as part of the Silk Road into Europe, connecting the East and West. With such a mix of cultures throughout history, it has left its mark in monuments such as the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque in Istanbul.
But there is more to Turkey then the historical legacy. Turkey has some amazing coastal beaches that tourists flock to in the summer. It has some magical landscapes for you to hike and explore. The famous "fairy chimney" rock formations in Cappadocia are begging to be explored. Add in the delicious Turkish cuisine and it will leave you wanting. There is so much to do in Turkey that one visit will not be enough. I was lucky enough to have visited Turkey twice, once exploring Cappadocia by horse back and up in the air by hot air balloon.

Pakistani-Kashmiri recipes win MasterChef 2017 for Saliha Ahmed
By KN Web Desk on 17/05/2017 @ 11:20 PM
Srinagar: A British Pakistani doctor who has been crowned 2017's MasterChef champion after beating 64 amateur cooks has paid tribute to her family for supporting her hobby of cooking – starting with Pakistani and Kashmiri dishes, a media report said.
Dr Saliha Ahmed, 29, triumphed in the final of MasterChef after defeating two rivals and made headlines around the world for impressing the judges with her Pakistani-Kashmiri-inspired three-course meal, the report said.
A record 6 million viewers tuned into BBC to watch Saliha storm to victory over music teacher Giovanna Ryan and DJ Steve Kielty who are considered amongst the top chefs, the report added.
In an exclusive interview with Geo News, Dr Saliha credited her family with her cooking skills and reserved special thanks to her doctor husband Usman Ahmed for pushing her to take part in the coveted competition, the report said
"I couldn't have reached here without putting in a lot of hard work. The whole family supported me in my endeavour and it's been worth it. After I was crowned the MasterChef 2017 champion, I was overwhelmed by the positive feedback, so many people from Pakistan contacted me to congratulate and to give positive feedback. It's impossible to describe in words the happiness I have felt. I must say Allah has been kind to me," she was quoted as saying.

Ranveer Singh shares first sign language video from '#Vartalap'. Watch the video here
Ranveer Singh was active on social media in the starting of the lockdown but in the meantime, he has not been very active.
Recently, the Gully Boy actor shared a video about the unique way of interpretation of music through sign language for the hearing impaired people. With his music label IncInk Records, actor Ranveer Singh is trying his best to create music for people with hearing impairment.
With the video, Ranveer wrote, "This is our first sign language video on @ntnmshra's track '#Vartalap' with the hope that the track will trigger more conversations related to making Indian Sign Language the 23rd official language of India. Do give it a listen and we hope you like it."
The video contains the tracks of Nitin Mishra aka Spitfire, the writer and composer of the hit song Asli Hip Hop (featured in Gully Boy), performed his song Vartalap alongside a sign language interpreter, Shabina Mohammed Choudhary for the benefit of the hearing impaired audience during one of the episodes of hit hip hop reality show MTV Hustle.
This is our first sign language video on @ntnmshra's track '#Vartalap' with the hope that the track will trigger more conversations related to making Indian Sign Language the 23rd official language of India. Do give it a listen and we hope you like it. Link in Bio. @incinkrecords . Written & Performed by Spitfire: @ntnmshra Music Producers: @anushkadisco @manchandashikhar for @incinkrecords . Signer: @hardeeply for @acciomango Art: IncInk Art Studio @mihir.sud @avndsouza
A post shared by Ranveer Singh (@ranveersingh) on May 22, 2020 at 11:40pm PDT
Spitfire says, "Hip-hop music is for everyone… and the soul of rap music lies in its poetry. Vartalap is my favourite of the songs I've written so far. I want my poetry to go to places and I think that sign language interpretation is another unique way to reach out to more and more people. I thank Shabina for helping me spread my message."
Talking about the initiative Ranveer said, "I can't imagine my life without songs, and there are so many people who don't have the option of experiencing music at all! We wanted to attempt to change that. We want to translate our art in a way so those who cannot hear can somehow still consume it; even if they can't hear our songs but can in this manner see what we are trying to say with our music and maybe enjoy it, that's all we want. Every single thing we do at IncInk is all heart."
Ranveer launched the music label with filmmaker Navzar Eranee in March.

Returning to the office? Ways to beat rising costs
According to a new Cisco survey, 75% of respondents say they save money on food and entertainment through hybrid work schedules.
D3 sign | Moments | Getty Images
Hybrid jobs are popular today for many reasons – and one of them is that they can save thousands of workers every year.
A new survey by tech firm Cisco – conducted this year among more than 6,000 respondents from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines – found that 86% of workers saved money by working part-time from home last year.
Average savings reached over $ 7,500 a year, with 85% Respondents say they believe they can sustain these savings in the long run through a hybrid work schedule.
That may be why "only 5% said they would like to return to office altogether," said Bi Kheng Te, president of Cisco's Southeast Asia.
The top category of savings
According to Cisco, the three areas in which hybrid workers have saved money are travel, food and social events.
About 88% of respondents said hybrid work saved them money on fuel and other travel costs, while 75% said they spent less on food and entertainment. In addition, 60% said they have saved on post-work life and social activities.
"Pre-epidemic: You used to go out with friends [after work], You're going to see a movie … go get a drink. With the epidemic, we are all on high alert, "said Anupam Trehan, a Cisco man and community leader in the Asian region.
During the epidemic many people got pets to keep them company. Jenny Walden from DailyPay says taking care of pets as soon as you get back to work is a challenge.

Jenny Walden, chief innovation officer at the American financial services company Delipe, added: "While we've been able to manage our food and shopping costs for food at home, getting back to work often means eating out."
According to Cisco, hybrid work saves Southeast Asian workers about 14 144 a week. The survey showed that about 3 out of 4 survey respondents would consider these savings when considering a job change.
Walden points out another expense that is rising for people returning to the office: pet care.
"A high percentage of people got pets during the Covid so they could stay with them during the isolation," he said. "Interestingly, when they return to work, they are being challenged to find ways to take care of their pets."
Rover, a recent report from an online pet market, found that pet parents are becoming more expensive. According to the report, more than 70% of pet owners have spent more on food, treats, toys and veterinary inspections since the beginning of this year, and 73% are concerned about continued price increases.
If remote work is not an option
For workers returning to the office who are worried about inflation and spending like food and petrol, industry experts say there are ways to manage rising costs.
1. Go beyond compensation
As people spend more money at work, it is inevitable that their minds will turn to negotiations for more pay, Trehan said. But he suggested having a conversation "out of compensation" instead.
"What happens in the end is that the moment you start thinking about financial well-being, the conversation gets very derailed by compensation," he said.
You may be surprised to learn that even without knowing it, you can probably save up to 300 per month from programs you haven't signed up for.
Jenny Walden
Chief Innovation Officer, Daily
Walden agrees, saying employees can ask about the benefits available to them through the "employer-paid program".
"There's a lot you don't know," he said. "You really need to take a few hours and look at your company's employee handbook and your benefit programs to see what they offer you."
Many employers are also "increasing opportunities" to save money for employees, Walden said.
For example, some healthcare benefits provide financial incentives to stay fit or for a certain number of steps per day, he said. Workers can also take advantage of transportation stipends, he said, or choose to drink free coffee at work.
Jenny Walden of DailyPay says the top new amenities companies are offering include transportation credit and free meals in the office.

"You'd be surprised that even without knowing it, you could probably save 300 per month from programs you haven't signed up for," Walden said. "If you spend $ 5 for a cup of coffee… which adds up very quickly."
2. Do a salary analysis
However, if workers believe they should be paid more, the first thing to do is to ask for a pay analysis, Walden said.
Each HR team has a set of identifiers that determine how much employees should earn for how many years they have been in the job, he added.
"They could analyze a gap … internally, there could be adjustments."
Those who are nervous or shy can also do their own research online, Walden suggests. For specific positions "you can go to Glassdoor… and see what the current market pay is".
Walden noted that companies nowadays are also employing "creative" methods to retain workers, especially as the labor market heats up.
"If they can't raise your salary, they can probably get a one-time bonus or they can look at setting up a promotion plan tied to the results," he said. "There are a lot of options."
3. Budget your money
Even for those who can get the highest salary, Walden says the budget is more important than ever.
He recommends "understanding how much money you have and creating a budget for basic needs."

When did you first get into fashion and why?
I can't remember the exact date when I started having a special interest in fashion, but I know it was really early. I remember my dad bringing home magazines that his products were in (my dad works in the commercial side of the clothing industry for men's tailoring). I remember that I was already drawing the fashion pages, and tried to reproduce the designers' drawings when I was around four or five. I can't explain it; I was just attracted to them. I love wearing clothes as much as I love designing them, and I have quite an individual approach to them. That is, I couldn't wear jeans, a t-shirt and a pair of sneakers if each one of them was not a special piece.
More and more, I can relate myself to surrealism. I love an absurd silhouette, something you can't take your eyes off. Also I want singularity. I am really trying to make people realise that they shouldn't stop themselves from wearing clothes that aren't traditionally associated to their gender. For me, clothes shouldn't be given a gender, which is a mistake we made for human beings. We should let people relate to a garment as if it's part of their personality. I think that's also the starting point of every design; the state of mind I have when I see a material, a picture, or a movie. The starting point of every creation is just a personality or a mood.
It's getting sunnier and sunnier everyday – the time goes so fast and so do jobs! I have chosen to be a freelance designer and stylist and do whatever I get asked, so that I am able to finance my collections on the side. I sometimes need to pinch myself to realise who actually is interested in my work. The highlights right now are that I can finance myself, have my own workshop and be independent.
Remix was a great experience for being quickly exposed to people that actually understand what you do, and vice versa. You learn to enter someone's universe and make friends with people that you feel a real connection with, one that you will remember. I have learned how to improve the way I present my work, and to explain my designs to those who don't immediately 'get' them.
Remix was the start of all the great things that have happened to me. Since then, I have worked with a lot of major fashion houses as a tailor and stylist. I have also worked as an assistant for Jean Paul Gaultier. I am currently working on a project for a big cosmetic group. I sometimes get asked to do special designs, and everyday brings a new project and a new challenge. I just need to balance all this with my personal projects.
What have you learned using fur in your pieces that you can transfer elsewhere?
Using fur, you learn how precious the smallest piece can be. It's the same in other designs or even your life. The smaller ray of light on a cloudy day is the most important one. Pay attention to details, do your best with what you get asked to do, find out how to use every part of something you wouldn't necessarily use, because what could seem like a leftover should not be thrown away, but used. It's your job to figure out how.


'Tis the season for warm, home cooked meals, that not only make your house smell delicious, but keep your belly full and satisfied. While such meals can leave you feeling sluggish and headed for the gym, it is possible to make dishes that achieve satisfaction and feeling healthy(ish).
Sweet potatoes are a great alternative to regular mashed potatoes. Not only do they add a bit of sweetness and color to your plate, but are also great sources of vitamin A, some varieties of B, and C. Additionally, they also are wonderful sources of potassium and fiber.
This super easy dish can be tweaked to your liking, and requires very few ingredients.
Wash and peel the potatoes. I'm a bit of an "over cleaner" and like to scrub them even if they are getting peeled.
Chop your potatoes into smaller chunks and place in a large pot.
Fill the pot with enough water to cover the potatoes.
Season the water with salt and bring to a boil.
Allow the potatoes to cook for about 20 minutes (or until you can easily pierce them with a fork).
Add milk, butter, maple syrup, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
Mashed together the ingredients until you achieve a mashed potato consistency.
***If presentation is your thing, try sprinkling the top with crumbled candied walnuts.
We served our mashed sweet potatoes on the side of rotisserie chicken, lightly steamed green beans with olive oil, and peanut soup.

Viken Gartneri Frosta is a family owned nursery, located on the small Norwegian island of Frosta. They produce leaves, herbs and salads using an extensive generational knowledge, and a philosophy rooted in "good things taking time". Viken Gartneri Frosta believes that a process of natural rather than accelerated growth, without the aid of pesticides, leads to higher quality and greater tasting products.
With a desire to re-establish their dominant position in the market, to leave no doubt that Viken Gartneri Frosta has the freshest and most flavourful salads and herbs, they commissioned us to rethink their brand identity.
We replaced a previous design that lacked freshness and felt "old" with a bold, modern and innovative expression that would also convey a commitment to quality and natural growing methods. We achieved this through a hand drawn logotype, rich, detailed and naturalistic approach to photography and a bright and distinctive purple enhanced by white. This balances freshness with a distinctiveness in line with the innovative thinking of the nursery.
With the redesign for Viken Gartneri Frosta we wanted the produce to be the star and with photography and clear packaging playing an important role in the new concept the typography had to work with, and on, various backgrounds successfully. With an open, slightly extended feel and high contrast structure it fufills the demands placed on it with aplomb, working well in multi-line stacks that allow for clear and concise expression.
